UH-1H Question

Hatter,

 I may have a diagram in one of my few Huey Manuals that may show the top circuit breaker panel and their sizes.  Currently at work, will check mid week when I get back home.  I need to "hunt" down the location of a UH-1V that is around Lafayette in "storage" and get some pictures. 

Steve,

  this is from the 79 dash 10:

 That what your looking for?

Steve, this is the DC panel from the 1969 Dash 10.  Are you needing to read the IDs of the breakers and the Amp ratings? 

P.S. Ray, I haven't forgotten about you... waiting on a restock :) 

Joseph, when will you be selling those in decal form?

Andy

Hello Joseph,

Bingo, that's what i was looking for.  I humbly ask this as I'm not an Army Huey expert, is that from a UH-1H dash 10?    I ask that because the Gun and Rocket breakers confuse me somewhat.  But that is EXACTLY what I needed, the nomenclature on the plate and the Amp rating.

Ray, your diagram was of the upper panel minus the circuit breakers, but thank you very much.

Mel, don't make a special trip for me......but don't let that stop you from climbing all ove a Huey from anywhere. 

Regards
Steve

Steve,

  Sorry about that.  I'm not as up on the cockpit instrumentation as I am on the airframe and armament. I never flew a Huey after all, but I'm learning this stuff slowly but surely.  Thanks for your patience.  I'm hoping one day, I can get a Huey pilot to sit in the cockpit and go over the startup procedures with me.   Those guages all just blend together when I look at them!  When I get back to Rucker I will try to get pics of all the instruments from a B, C and D/H for you.  How's the hunt for the TH-1L's coming, by the way.

Hey Ray,

I had to send the zinger.  The devil made me do it.  I did come to the right place though.  The UH-1H manual I have has no C/B diagrams in it.  I was kind of amazed.

The TH-1L saga.  I pushed hard on that.  I was able to root out photos for a little over half.  It wasn't very glamorous as a trainer.  What i found were a few peoples personal photos when they flew them, some on commercial sites and I tracked all the ones that had recieved FAA N numbers.  It would seem that these aircraft got really expensive to operate commercially around 1994 or so due to AD issued by the FAA.  Most disappeared off the official roles.  Some were targets, some just wound up as junk, some lucky ones found thier way to Museums.  I found one that had been flying commercially with the Forest Service, got decertified probably due to costs and somehow wound up painted in Army OD at a Vietnam Veterans Building in Talahasse FL.  Talked to the "guru" there and determined that it was in fact one of "mine".  He got a photo of the Bell Construction Number plate to prove it.  I think it is a fitting loacation and a fitting paint job as a dustoff bird.  I gave them a writeup on my experiences with it along with photos of it inflight.  That bird was my biggest success.

I have another project working also on the UH-1N's Ive flown.  Looking for ALL the STABILIZER BAR UH-1Ns.  Bureau numbers 158230-159197 (there are a few breaks in there on numbers).  This is even harder to find. 

After 159197 they were all AFCS non-stab bar birds.  (automatic flight control system)

Hey Steve, that image is from TM-55-1520-210-10 "Operator's Manual Army Model UH-1D H Helicopter" dated May 1969.  I can get you an image of the smaller AC breaker panel on the center pedestal if you need it.  The gun and rocket breakers are there because the capability was built-in at the factory, just not used by the US Army.  Of course, other operators utilized the capability.

Andy, I won't be making these in decal form, since the Revell 1/32 panels already have this detail molded into the panel-- you just have to use a microscope to read the ID labels.  The original molds have degraded, though, so you have to get a 1967 issue of the kit to clearly read them.  Of course, I'm pulling your leg.

Joseph,

Thanks, that what I figured.  I appreciate the help on that.

Regards
Steve
